the Threnody Configuration

thingiverse

Sorry this is late Hell Fans, we had a bit of a storm this weekend. Week 43 brings us the Threnody Configuration: LeMarchand's second offering increased his popularity among the Parisian elite, who purchased his boxes through private auctions. Although not as complex as the Lament Configuration, the Threnody Construct remains one of his most documented designs. References to its uniquely elegant configuration designs can be found in Pepin's Guide to Signs and Sigils (New-Dawn Publications, 1996), Bolinger's Encyclopedia of the Occult (Pinol Press, 1946), and the news article Children of the Vortex (Pentacle, 1971). "In the year of 1749, LeMarchand produced sixteen documented puzzle/music boxes. These designs soon became the rage of Europe..." At the height of his career, Paris was besieged by scandalous multiple disappearances of noteworthy individuals, a number of whom had purchased LeMarchand's puzzle boxes... Amidst this notoriety, LeMarchand fled Europe without selling his home. Apparently certain that the authorities were closing in on him... The Configuration may have been stolen from Voltaire's estate "Ferney" near the French-Swiss border by a group of "Ultra-radicals" shortly after his death in 1778. LeMarchand had murdered twenty-two persons upon Threnody's completion. So, raise hell and have fun!
